Google has planned to launch the Android Wear 2.0 and intends to increase the adoption rate so as to get them to as many customers as possible. The search engine giant has teamed up with many companies so as to release many smartwatches in the next couple of months.

Apart from Android Wear 2.0, Google and LG will also introduce their first smartwatches powered by the new platform: Watch Sport and Watch Style. They are rumoured to go on sale the next day for $350 and $250, respectively.
The smartwatches have been confirmed to feature deep Google Assistant integration, along with IP68 and IP67 certifications for dust and water resistance.
